Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that, on liability, the claimant's claims against the first respondent for discrimination arising from disability, harassment relating to disability, and constructive unfair dismissal were well-founded. Full oral reasons on liability were given at the merits hearing, but the extracted judgment does not set out the underlying reasoning in writing.
The claimant's disability discrimination claim for failure to make reasonable adjustments was dismissed upon withdrawal. The judgment also adjourned the remedy hearing to 14 January 2022 and directed the parties to exchange skeleton arguments on remedy, including spreadsheet calculations of compensation, by 11 January 2022.
Separately, the second respondent, Markel Law LLP, was ordered to pay wasted costs assessed at £2,250 plus VAT to the claimant's solicitors within 21 days. The judgment does not record any further remedy determination in the extracted text.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
